How to solve a skyscrapers puzzle

Each number is a building height. The clues around the edge say how many buildings you can see from that side.

The method

1Fill each row and column with 1 to N. Every height appears once per row and once per column, like a latin square.
2Place the giveaways. A clue of 1 means the tallest building is nearest you. A clue of N means the heights climb in order away from you.
3Count the visible buildings. A taller building hides every shorter one behind it, so a clue counts only the ones that step up.
4Match both ends of a line. The clues at the two ends of a row or column together pin the arrangement. Work from the most restrictive.

The one rule: Fill the grid with 1 to N once per line, matching every edge count of visible buildings.
What the answer page shows: The solved heights are printed at the back.
How the grades differ: Larger grids and sparser clues need more reasoning.
Good for: Solvers who enjoy a spatial, picture-the-skyline twist on latin squares.
